I used to recommend uBlock as a no-brainer, now folks really need to change towards a better browser.

Everybody talks about Florida man and forgets Florida woman.

Member when we had already decided he was a corrupt criminal heading for jail? Guess he upgraded to just being a dumb weirdo.

Hit me with your best music recommendations from ugly people.

and nothing of value was lost

So this election is just a maga shooting spree?

Best entrenched base wins. Go vote and take your friends.

Old news? Seems to be a subject of several papers for some time now. Synthetic data has been used successfully already for very specific domains.

Normification is a facet of our undemocratic capitalism. As you see yourself as a consumer of the internet and not a citizen, you mostly assume that a thing being

1. popular
2. monetizable
3. and convenient

is always preferable.

So the internet continues to have a huge potential to host many cool places, but

1. they can't reach users that might be interested
2. gaining support from small donations is difficult
3. and they can't integrate a complete set of features, accessibility, design and content moderation.

If you ask an average internet user about these places, it's a common response to say they're weird as in not normal. If you dig a bit for what they mean, it's usually the above. Nobody is there, it can't make money and it doesn't have all the things.

We would be better than ever, if not for the normification.

bro heard about Darwin and went “imma try everything then!”

People not voting for Harris because of Gaza need to avoid watching the debate, otherwise they’ll change their minds. No matter how bad things are, they can get worse.

He can do whatever, it's Harris that will be subjet to criticism.

Found the Constantine fan.

#1 Maduro fan in the US

When you’re mad for needing healthcare.

Remember when you payed for software and then it was yours forever?

I can't believe they'll put this on windows 10 pro.
